No Site...But A Few More Balls!

[romeo-1]

Well I spent another 2.5 hours at the musketball field looking for the site and have covered about 80%...and no site. I'm pretty confident that these musketballs were a random drop...someone probably dropped the pouch. In total I've found 33 balls in a very small area. I'll cover the remaining 20% but I'm not confident. There are plenty more fields in this area deserving attention.

May be the case but a small 18th century site is SOOOO easy to miss. In that situation I probably would move on at least knowing if I missed something it wasn't multiple houses or a village.

I can't remember the pics, but was this a plowed field? If not, I give the chances of there still being a site a little better because you had no pottery or glass to tip you off.

Yep, plowed. I actually lied...there IS a site but it is one I am aware of and have already hunted. Its late 1800s early 1900s and it is at the very top end of the field. There is glass there but no where else.

That's too bad. You know you can't even discount the balls being from that house. I'm sure many still had muskets to play with then.

'I'll cover the remaining 20%'

I would, when times are hard, its best crossing one of the list, otherwise your mind will wonder about what you left in the last bit of the fields. Plus you may get a random surprise

Yep you never know sometimes the best find a is one far out from the camp or house site.
